Installation inspiration

If you had a motion sensor, it sends a signal to your software telling it when someone moves, if you stand still the signal stops. What would you do with it? So far the best I can come up with is a room that changes color when you move and maybe that corresponding sound. Any ideas?

you're in arduino land I can tell. it's a world of possibilities. you're a clever chap..something will come up.

what if it notices how often or how fast you move and reacts to that? what if it has problems and thinks you are, or should be moving but are not? what if it ignores you based on your speed or the colours you are wearing? what if I'm drunk and should be in bed when in fact I am on the ning site talking crap?

i was queuing up for a clown party last nite in brunswick when the guy on the door said ok everyone with stamps go to the left. But people with stamps were already lining up on the right so we said that, and the guy said umm, yeh... my left.
Im still trying to get grasp on it but it made me think about inverted perception and the way spatial reality is essentially flipped.

how many motion sensors have you got? i've got an idea i'd like to implement one day but it'd require a lot of sensors. at least a hundred, ideally.

this is a PIR.
so it detects movement within generally a 15m range. With 100 sensors thats 1500 m....... what do you have in mind??

get a big warehouse-type space, make it absolutely pitch black. install a grid (say 10x10) of halogen downlights, and for each one install a PIR pointing down at the space directly beneath the light.
then as you walk through the space the PIRs detect where you're at and light you up. or they could light up one of the spaces directly next to you to imply a path you can walk through.
mind you, 100 sensors and 100 lights, probably easiest to go a software-less route.

You could just buy those sensor lights but they wouldnt have that nice fade effect.. Hate to sound like a cheesemonger but if I had access to a large space like that I would be inclined to create a slightly more dynamic work......

nah, you'd need the light to turn off once you'd left the space. which rules out use of PIRs, actually, i suppose.
